Gift ideas and skincare tips from Elemis expert Keeley

With Christmas on the horizon, we caught up with Elemis expert Keeley to find out how she's spending the festive season with baby Kaya and what her top gift ideas are...

How will you be spending your first Christmas with baby Kaya?
I'll be spending time with my family definitely, spoiling Kaya rotten, and with lots of food and pressies. We may even try and get away somewhere hot this year, which would be lovely!

What do you want to find under the Christmas tree this year?

I would love anything Disney as I'm still a real child at heart - Kaya is a great excuse now to bring out the child in me! I would also love to find the Elemis Bathtime Indulgence under my tree to really create that ultimate evening of pampering! Gorgeous aromas enveloped on your skin whilst snuggled up on the sofa in that amazing dressing gown, what a perfect way to relax!

Can you recommend any particular gift sets for family and friends?

It’s always important to not forget the men in your life so I would recommend the Elemis Men’s Grooming Collection which is a great introductory kit into the Elemis men’s grooming range - specifically designed for men’s skin. It should stop him from raiding your bathroom cupboard too!

For someone completely new to Elemis I would recommend Daily Radiance. This contains your basic skincare routine with a cleanser, toner and moisturiser, complete with the added luxurious bonus of Elemis facial mitts and a spa towelling headband, making it the perfect present!

Lastly for that extra special someone, the ultimate gift would have to be Pro-Collagen Excellence, containing all full-size products. This really is the gift for an Elemis fan! 

What are your top tips for looking after our skin this winter?

Make sure you never leave the house without your moisturiser on and, no matter how tired you are, always apply your night cream on an evening.

In the winter, try to use a booster treatment under your moisturiser during these cold and stressful months when your skin tends to be more challenged and suffers, like the Cellular Bliss Capsules or the new Visible Brilliance Serum. These can make a huge difference to the appearance of your skin and will give it that extra help towards a radiant-looking complexion.

How do you cope with the stresses of Christmas?

I definitely ‘up’ my skincare routine in the winter rather than waiting for my skin to show signs of stress. I start using a month of Cellular Bliss Capsules in October, then in November and December I won't be without my Visible Brilliance now I have discovered this amazing mineral-boosting skin serum! I love it!

I also will not be without Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream - a must for stressful skins, especially as I'll be working lots of late nights fitting in clients and Christmas shopping. Plus, I take advantage of QVC Easy Pay offers and tend to start shopping in September - it's just a great way to spread out the cost.

Hi, I had never used Elemis before. Watching a few of your programs and listening to Keeley I decided to give it a go and orderd the Pro Collagen set and I am a convert. I would now like to know where Keeley works then book a session with her and get some advice on other areas and possibly become one of her clients. Hopefully she is based in London. I would appreciate if you let me know.

Thanks,

Maryam

Hi Keeley
I have received a gift of Tri~Enzyme, is it to use all of the time, or a product that should be used when my skin is looking a bit dull.
Thank you Pat

Hello

I recently purchased a gift set of Tri-Enzyme plus the starter kit for myself and one for my sister.

It's been great for me but my sister's eyes has reacted very badly to the Tri-Enzyme. I know you say be careful around the eyes and she has been but no difference.

Can you suggest a care routine or suggest another product in the range which would give her the same fabulous results that I've experienced as I'm determined to get her the great skin results that I've experienced with Elemis!
